I personally cannot wait!!!

can't wait[2]

sounds good. monochrome was surprisingly interesting, still waiting for cry against [which sounded like the better of the two songs, sample wise vs full].

At first I was like:

But then I remembered Merry now are now on Free-Will and sound like Dir en Grey.

[toshii9245 0]

They're not Dir en grey, and they're not even remotely similar, so. I'm looking forward to it.

[minre 13]

They're not Dir en grey, and they're not even remotely similar, so. I'm looking forward to it.

I suppose the main argument is the fact they're on FIREWALL division, which Dir happens to occupy. Of course, there have been complaints the past 3 albums or so, so it does not really matter what people say about them or not these days. It's all redundant.

Didn't like Monochrome. Maybe Cry against... will restore my hopes, but meh. We will see.

FYI they don't sound like Dir en grey at all, their new look just has a similar feel to it.

Well, they're not as bad as them yet, but the given direction they've been going in for the past few years I'm sure they will be soon

The Cry Against (the preview, have not heard the full thing yet) felt a little Dir en grey influenced. But since when is that a disaster? Influenced does not mean a copy. They still have their own MERRY style and sound. So there's nothing to worry about IMO.

Really looking forward to anything they will release.

looking forward to it, I hope that I'll like this release...didn't like all the latest stuff

This.

Monochrome was just horrible. That doesn't fit in Merry I know. What a pity. DD:

The PV preview of Crisis Moment is up on the splash page of the OHP: http://merryweb.jp/

Not bad, but didn't quite grab my attention. Gonna have to wait for the full song.

[Guest]

Oh fuck! That sounds WAY better than the last single, and I absolutely LOVED the last single. That sounds nothing but amazing, amazing and a-fuckin-mazing!

After hearing the last single and this preview I just can't wait for another full lenght by these geniuses! Can't fucking wait!

[Karma’s Hat 3107]

Against all odds, i started loving the last single like hell. The preview sounds great, and i can't wait.

[bakteeri 7]

Sounds good. I'm starting to like these guys again. Seems like changing to Free Will was a great decision.

[Des 289]

This is going to be epic. Again.

Here's the full PV for Crisis Moment, if you guys haven't seen it already:

My mind was blown, this is pure epicness. Song of the year 2010 for me.

[minre 13]

I didn't like cry against, but this one was much more epic when I first heard it the other day, and I hope the b-side is as good as monochrome!

also, crisis is perfect for that unplugged version , unless that ends up utterly boring... [kind of how I felt about RES' secret scars unplugged :/]

I considered that as well for a second and then remembered this is Merry we're talking about. Gara could sing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star a cappella and it still wouldn't be boring. Just take that acoustic Tick-Tock from last Christmas for example.

I've listened to this song like 1000 times by now and it still takes my breath away. Can't believe we still have Fleeting prayer and the unplugged and the live footage from August to look forward to. I feel so spoiled again. Merry, why you so good to me?

[minre 13]

it's just that I don't want them to try to tame themselves, that'll take everything away, though I don't think Gara can tame himself, so that's a good thing :]

really curious about how the album will sound [february release perhaps? probably not that far away], it seems like it will be MUCH better than underworld... [though I don't think there'll be another gekkisei... unfortunately.]
